This incredible visual record of life and death along the Eastern Front features more than 250 images from the the PIXPAST Archive, a collection of more than 32,000 original color photographs taken between 1936 and 1946.Collated into three parts and organized thematically, the book begins with images of the ground war, including Hitler's invasion of the Soviet Union and the tanks, vehicles, weaponry and infantry on both sides. Moving into the war in the skies, the images depict aircraft in flight and on the ground, the bombers, fighters, Luftwaffe personnel and the destruction wrought from battle. And finally, the images take us behind the lines, to the prisoners of war, partisans, medics, the daily lives and leisure activities of soldiers and civilians along the front and the impact of the harsh Russian winter.Accompanied by text by renowned author and commentator Anthony Tucker-Jones, these images offer a rare, often surprising insight into the realities of the Second World War and people caught up in it, in vivid color detail.

Anthony Tucker-Jones and Ian Stewart Spring have gathered a fine and disturbing collection of pictures. Pen and Sword have published a large number of books from the Eastern Front, but they are all in black and white. Now they publish the book in rare colour pictures from the time, these have not been coloured recently, from the very early colour film.
This book has been collated into three sections, starting with the invasion and the ground war, then the war from the skies, and finally behind the lines with the captured Prisoners, to the daily lives who were living under the Nazi yolk.
The colour pictures help to drive home the nature of the eastern front and how it could be cold, wet, and frozen in winter. While in winter it could be hot, and sometimes felt like there was nowhere to hide for soldiers. Staff cars covered in layers of mud almost all the panzer grey was covered.
There are plenty of pictures of German army and some of the redeployed armaments captured in France. An example such as the two-man French Chenillette d’Infanterie, which looks more like a toy than a killing machine, on a double page.
A great book and an interesting addition to any collection on the Easter Front. (
